Sourcing from China – Current Challenges

Recent product inspection data shows that China's beyond AQL rates are hovering around the 30% percent mark, a slight improvement on the average value for Asia and Asia Pacific, and a distinct advantage against other manufacturing powerhouses, such as India and Bangladesh (where failure rates reach 46% and 54%, respectively). Nevertheless, a supply chain where one-third must be reworked before they are shipped leaves ample room for improvement, especially for brands and retailers sourcing on a large scale.

In the face of these figures, any brand and retailer sourcing from China must remain vigilant. This is especially the case for high-risk product categories, such as toys and children's products, as shown by the fact that China-sourced toys firmly remain in the lead among the EU's recalls.

This data serves to emphasize the importance of quality control and reliable on-site inspection services. For any Western-based brand manufacturing in China, the perfect third-party inspector must combine industry expertise with local knowledge and experience. Dependable quality control services must span the entire sourcing cycle: from onsite product inspections at different manufacturing stages, to comprehensive supplier audits and lab testing.
